Patent number: 11918285Abstract: A medical device may include an elongated body having a distal elongated body portion and a central longitudinal axis. The medical device may include a balloon positioned along the distal elongated body portion. The balloon may be configured to receive a fluid to inflate the balloon such that an exterior balloon surface contacts a calcified lesion within a patient's vasculature. The medical device may include one or more pressure wave emitters positioned along the central longitudinal axis of the elongated body. The one or more pressure wave emitters may be configured to propagate at least one pressure wave through the fluid to fragment the calcified lesion. At least one pressure wave emitter may include an optical fiber configured to transmit laser energy into the balloon. The laser energy may be configured to create a cavitation bubble in the fluid.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2023Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Fast Wave Medical Inc.Inventors: JiChao Sun, Parker Hagen, Dannah Dean, Lauren Eno, Brady Hatcher, Curtis Goreham-Voss, Tristan Tieso, Edward Anderson, Scott Nelson, Dean Irwin, Bryan Goh, Charles Anthony Plowe, Randy Beyreis

Patent number: 11495104Abstract: Techniques for automatically securing receptacles of a retailer via an electronic lock include receiving a user request to reserve a receptacle, selecting a suitable receptacle based on one or more conditions, some of which may be specified by the user, and transmitting an electronic locking signal to secure, and thereby reserve, the selected receptacle. An association between the reserved receptacle and the user is stored, and the user is electronically notified. Subsequently, an electronic signal indicative of the identification of the user (or of the user's agent) is locally received. Upon determination that the user is expected and associated with the reserved receptacle, the techniques include causing an electronic unlocking signal to be transmitted to the electronic lock, thereby unlocking the receptacle.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2021Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: WALGREEN CO.Inventors: Kartik Subramanian, Andrew Schweinfurth, Raymond Kim, Bryan Anderson

Publication number: 20200259339Abstract: Disclosed are a method, a system and an apparatus to power an ultra-low voltage tow light assembly at a high-speed charging rate. In one embodiment, a tow light assembly includes a high power charging circuitry, a supercapacitor power bank, a microcontroller, an ultra-low voltage operating circuitry, an LED light bar, an LED lens, and an isolator unit. The high power charging circuitry coupled with the supercapacitor power bank fully charges the supercapacitor power bank instantaneously within few minutes. The microcontroller optimizes a wireless stop-tail-turn functionality of the tow light assembly at a minimal voltage. The ultra-low voltage operating circuitry operates the LED light bar at negligibly low voltage. The LED lens of the LED light bar operates at a low-set voltage. The isolator unit causes an automatic isolation of the supercapacitor power bank from the power source to prevent a potential short circuit and/or a power draw.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2019Publication date: August 13, 2020Inventors: Elbert Leroy Young Jr., William Bryan Anderson

Patent number: 7536669Abstract: A Direct Memory Access (DMA) system is provided for simplified communication between a processor and IP cores in an FPGA. The DMA system includes use of dual-port BRAM as a buffer and a decoder as a DMA control signal identification mechanism. The DMA control signals are stored in an area of the BRAM memory recognized by the decoder using chip enable (CE), write enable (WE), and address (ADR) signals. The decoder, upon recognizing a DMA control signal, will generate an event vector. The event vector triggers a READ operation by the receiving device at the associated BRAM control data memory address. DMA control codes can be detected as sent from either the processor or the IP core or both, depending upon whether the system employs a MASTER/SLAVE, SLAVE/MASTER, or PEER/PEER control model.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2006Date of Patent: May 19, 2009Assignee: Xilinx, Inc.Inventor: James Bryan Anderson

Publication number: 20050118379Abstract: A jobsite-applied radiation curable floor finish containing inorganic particles exhibits improved scratch resistance but can be removed using strip agents. The finish can be applied to a multipiece flooring material whose pieces have a top surface, a side surface or surfaces and gaps between pieces. The top surface is coated and at least the uppermost portion of the gaps are filled with a layer or layers of cured finish composition comprising radiation cured polymer and sufficient inorganic filler particles to impart increased scratch resistance to the cured finish. The finish can also be applied as a strip agent-permeable coating atop a strippable intermediate coating atop a substrate. The finish provides a better appearance and easier cleanability than would be the case if the flooring material had been factory-finished and then installed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2004Publication date: June 2, 2005Inventors: Bryan Anderson, Keith Olson, Helmut Kammerer, Thomas Richardson
